I’m so happy the BSG welcomed me as their friend. I just moved to Boston so my mom could get special treatments for her multiple sclerosis. My art is my life! I paint, collage, draw, and do computer art. I’m proud of my Mexican-American heritage and love to cook with my sister.
Birthday: September 23 Sign: Libra Age: 12 Screen name: lafrida
Full name: Isabel Alicia Martinez
Hair color: Dark brown—almost black
Eye color: Caramel-colored
All about me: I love to paint, make collages, and draw cartoons. I spend a lot of time on the computer, and I love birds, especially my parrot, Franco. Bird cartoons are the most fun to draw, but I also do caricatures, paintings, and lots of doodles.
Best quality: I like to be friendly to others—especially new kids at school because I was one not too long ago!
Worst quality: Sometimes I tune out the rest of the world when I’m sketching and totally zone out!
Favorite color: Green, green…and more green!
Favorite sport: Basketball. And I love watching ballet because I used to dance.
Favorite music: I love classical guitar, whatever is on the radio, and anything by Shakira.
Favorite movie: The Princess Bride
Favorite store: The specialty food shop where I can get ingredients to make Mexican empanadas and chile rellenos.
Favorite candy: Caramels
Favorite animal: Birds. I like to draw cartoons with birds as the main characters.
Favorite school subject: Art, by far!
My idol: Frida Kahlo. She was so brave and different—and she was from Mexico.
Prized possession: My sketchbook. Next, my computer.
Goals: Having my art placed in a gallery somewhere in Boston or on web sites for the whole world to see.
Fun facts:
• I’m not afraid to be myself. Who wants to go with the crowd?
• Once, I got caught in the art room just talking to a popular boy and rumors started to fly...
• I got my parrot, Franco, after we found him stowed away on our Hawaiian cruise trip!
• At my family’s ranch in Texas, I got stuck in a spooky cave overnight and discovered ancient petroglyphs!
you've seen princess bride?! that movie is awesome! i love to draw and everyone in my class always ask me to help them draw but my most fave thing to draw r pandas and penguins, there's a tie between the 2, can't choose which is better. and thank you for sying caramel is your fave candy, i thought i was the only girl! i also dance, but i hurt my neck during gym so i can't dance 4 a week! so sad.
That is sad! Guess you can spend more time working on your pandas and penguins, though, so at least it can be sort of fun!

o my gosh, Isabel (i heart that name by the way) Lauren answered my question under the dancing queen article! Thank you so much for choosing my comment. Thank you for the oprotunity for letting me talk to a real dancing star =]
You're welcome! Weren't her answers so interesting?
Isabel, your drawings are great and your so beautiful! Also, what drawing tools do you people need most if they want to make a good drawing?
I would say you need paper that has a little bit of texture (like in a sketchbook), a couple of pencils with different softnesses, and a gum eraser (they work better than the ones on the end of regular pencils.) You should go to an art store and ask the people working there - they usually can tell me exactly what to get!
Hi Isabel! I love your Spanish accent. It is so indiviual and cool. I also love your clothing style and the way you draw. I'm a great drawer too, and I was thinking of drawing a picture of you and your Beacon Street friends. Cool, huh?
Is i'd love to take art classes, cuz i really need them; specially to draw people --they're like the hardest. But i dont find some classes close to were i live!
It may sound like I am copying you but I'm not. my fav color is green,I love birds espesally penguins.I love patining,it's my secend favorite hobbie.I'm Mexican and my hair color is black and my eye color brown.If we lived together we could be twins. bye for now love youtube p.s.I'M NOT JOKING! Lot's of love,love youtube
I'm a doodler. What I hate is my drawings in the margins are so much better than when I'm drawing in my sketchbook, and I'm guessing that's because I getting inspired by things i see when I look around at school. . . Anyways, I just LOVE to draw. Anime is kinda my thing, but I change my style all the time. I'm Portuguese (close, kinda), I have dark chestnut brown hair, hazel eyes, and I was totally born2dance! I've been doing ballet since I was 3 years old, and I'm on pointe now. . . . it's sooo exciting!
Hi Iz! I love to draw just like you but instead of birds, I like to draw dogs... your cartoons are the greatest! These are just random questions but who is the second tallest BSG? Can you change your animation? What is your BSG adventure book gonna be called? I just cant wait to read it!
Um,I think the second tallest BSG is me...but we haven't ever compared heights and figured it out!
i lk penguins! im really good at drawing them, but im bad at drawing everything else. drawing really isnt my thing. i have brown eyes... but my hair isnt as dark as yours... its dirty blonde.. i think thats what u call it. how old are you and the rest of the bsg?? -bsglvr227

Hi Isabel! I'm a lot like you (and Charlotte) in many ways. I love the color green and I'm always drawing something! My favorite animal is a rabbit, but I love all animals. Your friend, thinkpink202
I am most like Isabel, Maeve, and Katani. I look like Isabel though. My birthday is the day after yours! I also love art and used to be a dancer. But I don't like basketball as my fave sport. Also birds are not my fave animal, but we still have many things in common!! BYE!!

Hi Isabel,I love love love ballet, and thats really cool that you did ballet. My faveret candy is caramel too.I like art its fun. WHEN YOU WHERE IN BALLET WHAT WAS YOUR FAVERET MOVE?
Hey Isabel... you seem like you get along with Elena Maria really well... I love my cousin to death but we always argue! We live in an apartment and she lives across the hall- I walked over there, and after I didn't want to watch Shrek the Third with her, she said, "NOOOO..! I want you to watch with me!!!" Then i said, "No. You can't force me to watch what I don't want to watch." SHe said, "Fine. Go home." And I just stared at her and said fine. Then I went home. We hardly get along... help?
I love drawing also. I love penguins too! My favorite thing to draw are trees and flowers! I love it so much! I also want to say that in the book, you are my favorite charactor!
My favorite candy is also caramel. My favorite subject in school is art and lastly I LOVE to play basketball!!! I almost forgot, I am very good at socializing

I don't think I can pick a favorite Mexican food! I definitely love the bunuelos at Montoyas, though. Mmmm.
Isabel, I love sketching things out, too. By far basketball is my favorite sport(w. basketball). Plus, Frida is my favorite artist of all time. I love the way she does portraits, and the way she makes her eyebrow look like the wings of birds.
Hey Isabel, You know, we are so much in common, I mean like Shakira is my favourite person, and same as my mom too, and my favourite candy is also caramel, so tasty! And you know, like basketball is also my favourite sport, but mostly volleyball, but that is so cool. i have never had a friend who is so much in common like me before, but you're the first one. Well I g2g now, msg me back! later
I also got hurt when I did ballet. I sprained my ankle while I was doing a twirl. I loved ballet but I had to quit it. Anyways, I was so happy that someone has gone through things that I had gone through. I was sad that I stopped ballet but I started softball. I love it now!
I know how you feel! It was soooo sad when I had to quit ballet. But now I play basketball, and I love it just as much!
